Karaagre Vasate Lakshmi

The front part of the hands (the fingertips) are ascribed to Goddess Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth, the middle part (the palm proper) to Goddess Saraswati, the Goddess of Learning, and the root (the part of hand near the wrist) to Govinda (God).

Therefore, every morning, one should have a respectful look at one’s hand, which symbolizes honest labor.

If you have or can translate the prayer, I would appreciate your emailing me the information so that I can post it on this blog. Thank you.
